Several private schools have defied the directive issued by Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on the resumption of learning for Grade Four students. Grade Four students were directed to report back to school on Monday, July 26 as per the directive issued by Magoha. However, the private schools have told the students to report back to school on Wednesday, May 12. A section of parents faulted the private schools for the move citing that they were not consulted. They cited that the new formula showed favoritism towards public school students.
